Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Murder Past Due


Assistant Reference Librarian (and Dr. of Paleopathology!) Megan Clark has a plan to celebrate the six month anniversary of her mystery reading group, Murder by the Yard. She and her sidekick, Dr. Ryan Stevens are planning a tour of famous Amarillo murder sites. At one of the sites, the Gorman mansion, a young bride was strangled and her new husband, the obvious suspect, committed suicide a year later. The young husband's grandfather asks Megan and the reading group to solve the case once and for all.
